I am so sorry for what you have been going through, must be a nightmare for you.
I don't have the link, I might have trashed it, I am good at that.
Tomorrow I go for the Biopsy. I will let you know.
Stay Strong! I know it's hard but I am sure you are in good hands.

Marcia- Being told that you have cancer for this first time and subsequent times are certainly very scary. A lot of support and understanding of what my job is in dealing with it helps keep the nightmares away. But it took many years. The more that I have become familiar with something the more in control I feel, even if it's partial control.

A long time ago someone told me that my job is to be a good patient. I've learned that this means many things but most of all I need to be in control, help decide what options are best for me along with my doctors, then make that decision work for me.

Does this make sense?
